    Turpin High School is a great school. With many new and challenging academic classes, there is something for everyone. With the classes comes great teachers. They are always there to help the student learn. Making sure each student understands the material and if they don't then they can help them. Engaging the student in activities and examples that help to challenge the student and to learn the content. Turpin not only has good teachers and classes, but they have more extracurricular activities as well. With sports teams, clubs, and other activities there is always something for everyone. Even if there isn't the staff at Turpin are always willing to help find that and support the things you want to do. If I could change somethings about Turpin it would be more engagement with each activity from the faculty and students. We have people that support these things but they don't want to always show up to activities like swim meets, away football games, or even clubs.

    Turpin High School has been an incredible place that has helped me push myself to excel in academics and involve myself in a plethora of extracurricular activities. The school's academics offer a wide variety of classes, allowing students to take classes that are both interesting and rigorous. Not only does the school have great academics, but they also are great at interacting with the student body. The school has done a good job at providing lots of extracurricular activities. The only thing I would fault Turpin is the lack of information regarding certain extracurriculars. While it is nice that they are providing a lot of events and opportunities for students, they need to better promote them. Overall, Turpin has been an incredible high school experience. It has provided me with an incredible academic career, immense extracurricular opportunities, great sense of community, and most importantly the skill set I need to transition to the world on my own.
    Turpin's faculty and staff are the best around. Everyone there wants you to succeed, and they're willing to go above and beyond for you. The academics are strong, and I feel challenged in each of my classes. My main complaint is the lack of diversity. Anderson township is a small, sheltered community, but I wish there were more differences among the students. Overall, I've enjoyed my experience at Turpin, and the opportunities it's offered me.
